Comic is Oglaf. It's brilliant, but quite NSFW. That is one of the relatively few SFW strips.

There's even emails that are now public record due to a court case with the Department of Justice that confirm this!
Wonderful, but very long (and detailed) writeup here.
The term has been diluted I guess, or this is a strawman. I've never seen real life protests or action called "virtue signaling" before. That's absurd.
Back when I first started seeing the term used online, somewhere around 2009-2013, it was being used to describe the non-religious version of people making "hopes and prayers" comments online.
Like people using filters over their Facebook profile image to raise awareness of something and then patting themselves on the back for a job well done. That problem sure was solved!
You think something the Russian invasion of Ukraine is bad? And you feel that so strong you're going to make a post online about it? You sure showed Putin with that one!
At least taken in the most forgiving light, it was sneering at the type of people who were explicitly preformative with their sense of justice. The type of people to do the day of silence about LGBT bullying, who would then strut around afterwards as if to say "We did it gang! We solved LGBT hate!" Then continue to use LGBT terms in derogatory ways and bully LGBT people.
I always thought the phrase was pretty self explanatory. It's virtue signalling, not seeking, not spreading, not defending, not living, not actually embodying.
This wouldn't be the first time this comic creator made a strip against something that seems to be a ridiculous strawman to me though.
Just wash everything on cold, except if there's a specific stain to remove that needs hot water.
Junk too big, I'm too fat, and it's a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.
I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn't crush things or make it look like I'm smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don't look like they're parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.
Not spinning this news hard enough.
"Trump has empowered states to take control of their own healthcare and disaster infrastructure by freeing them of the onerous red tape associated with this dirty CDC money. No longer will the federal government have yuge financial control over your states' medical industry! Now every state is free to tailor care and disaater response to the unique needs of their people! It's freedom folks, plain and simple."
Yuck. I think the vomit is starting to pour from my ears. I'm kind of worried that I was even able to type that dreck.
There is no world in which the barely marginal convenience outweighs the additional cost (and near certain privacy invasion of a microphone equipped dryer).
I'm fairly sure the update cadence is set by the game dev/publisher, not GoG.
This has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with using unfamiliar equipment and/or software. I've gotten those comments on seprarate occasions from having command prompt up and from having an IDE up in dark mode. Also from using an external HDD, external sd card reader/writer, wired mouse, and wired keyboard back when external hdds were relatively niche. Too many wires I guess.
Whatever this is, it doesn't work well without prior understanding of whatever this manga is and how that Sci-Fi gun works. Who's firing at who? What in the fuck is even going on? If Windows is veering off target then why are we seeing people blown up like it was successful?
I'm guessing that your joke is that all the Linux variants are some overcharged killshot, but Windows can't hit the target? But then some of the panels make no sense.
So is this is in essence "I drew myself as the chad and you as the sad soyjak, that means I win!"?
Where funny?
